Richard Kipling - Crowd Funding

Richard has created a crowd funding platform called CrowdPatch which is much more than fundraising, it's about patching together communities of people with shared interests. Money isn't the only source of interest or power in this world. We believe that there is power in the crowd. Don't worry, we're not expecting everyone to sew on a hippy patch and 'come together' to save the world's problems. We're just providing the space for you to connect with like-minded people. If you happen to care about our world and want to make a difference, you can choose to support some of the wonderful charities, good causes and businesses on our site.

Adam Clark - Web UX Maximiser

We help businesses and individuals to solve complex problems through Creativity, Disruption and Technology. We focus on business, marketing, design and technical/digital challenges. We are the glue between the bricks, the twist within the knot, the why behind the what, the "Yes!" behind "Why not?". In other words... Being able to write a marketing strategy doesn't make it a good marketing strategy. Being able to build a website doesn't make it a good website - however pretty it might look. Being able to craft a business model or value proposition doesn't mean they necessarily work. We have 20 years experience of doing stuff that works.

Stuart Young - Self Help Author

Stuart wanted to change his life so wrote a book, "How to Change your Life: One day at a time" A few years ago I was a disgruntled employee running a print company for someone else. I was on a salary so received no overtime pay. I worked all the hours god sent including ‘popping’ in most weekends much to my daughter’s annoyance, as that was my only time with her. It seemed that there was no way to earn any extra cash as I had no time for another job. Every pay cheque was spent by the time the next one arrived so I had zero savings. Then I met Mike...
